| Abstract;We have summarized the results of investigations on pesticide residues in agricultural products in Shiga Prefecture from 1994 to 2003. Though the detection rate for the number of samples depended on the year, it was around 20%. The rate of detection was higher for fruits than vegetables, and was also higher for imported than domestic products. In domestic agricultural products, pesticides detected frequently were methamidophos, acephate, cypermethrin and fenvalerate, and were chlorpyrifos and methamidophos in imported agricultural products. The detection rates of chlorfenapyr and pyrethroid pesticides were high, but have decreased in the investigation latter half. Fenvalerate was dominant in most agricultural products. The frequency of cypermethrin was very high in vegetables such as 'komatsuna', garland chrysanthemum, spinach and welsh onion. The frequency of one pesticide detection was 82%, followed by 15% with two pesticides, 2% with three pesticides, and 1% with four pesticides based on the detected numbers of pesticides in one sample. The percentage of pesticides for which a maximum residue limit (MRL) had been set under the Food Sanitation Law was 69.5% among all pesticides detected. The corresponding MRLs were not established for the remaining residues in the detected sample. Over these 10 years, the MRL was exceeded in 3 cases. (author abst.) |
